Ask an HR member (aka blah, blah, bliddy, blah)

[padraic]

From time to time i have often wanted to ask a HR member a question, i thought it might make a good thread so here goes. The idea is that you ask a member a question any member and the question must be in good taste, and you have to give the reason you are asking the question.

for example i always wondered how RSF10 became a Braves fan, no reason he just seems like a DC guy to me and thouhgt he would go O's like most fans in the area. Braves are cool with me i'm was just wondering.

[RedskinRyan]

maybe you should start with asking someone how to spell 'member' ;)

I'll let Kenny answer your question, but I always believed he rooted for the Braves because he grew up in Richmond, who has a farm team for the Braves. (Richmond Braves)

I could be wrong, though...

DJ is absolutely correct about the reasons that Kenny is a Braves fan. I give him crap about it everytime I see him. The Richmond Braves are the ATL AAA squad.


Now. The name Keino was given to me by my parents. It is my middle name, named after the Kenyan distance runner by the name of Kip Keino. He made history in the 1972 olympiad by winning the 3000 M Steeplechase, an event he had never participated in, but won at the age of 32.

h2s, how much did you win in Veges? and what game do you play when out there?

[hail2skins]

h2s, how much did you win in Veges? and what game do you play when out there?I didn't come back ahead. I was up and down the whole trip. I won some which prevented me from having to hit the ATM and that helped alot. So all in all, while I lost I didn't lose alot. I play roulette, blackjack and slots. I'm really getting into the multi-hand video poker machines though. I found a machine and was playing 3 hands at a time at poker (deuces wild)

[akhhorus]

Gin and tonics. Not that I've shared a drink or 20 with h2s....

I had a friend that was already in the band and when they needed snare drummers, he asked if I wanted to audition. I said yes and the rest is history.

Padraic, how did that nasty staff infection come about, I'm sure HR would like to know.

[Keino]

The humble and modest part is something I'm still working on. The outlook is less optimistic.

[FanFromArizona]

For the record, I am a Braves supporter myself, having formerly lived in SC and Atlanta being the closest baseball market. I consider Bobby Cox and Joe Gibbs as two of the most masterful managers in their respective sport. It's gonna be a shame to see the 14 year record ended this year, but I still think the Braves will make the playoffs as the wildcard team this year.

[Keino]

Whit. How in the world did you get such awesome football knowledge? I rarely read a post of yours I disagree with.

[FanFromArizona]

I drink alot.

how much and what do you drink? j/k, no response needed.

this one is for the man shally,

1. the story behind the name.
2. how deep is the knowledge of your Redskin lore?

[whitskins]

Whit. How in the world did you get such awesome football knowledge? I rarely read a post of yours I disagree with.

Wow, thank you Keino, but I have to give the credit there to all of you guys. I can easily say that I didn't know or understand nearly as much about the Skins and pro football until I got to this site.

I was always a big fan of the team, but the knowledge and utter devotion on this site is infectious. I definitely became a sponge almost immediately upon discovering the board, so the reason I know anything about the Skins outside of their starting lineup is because of you guys!

[RedskinRyan]

so the reason I know anything about the Skins outside of their starting lineup is because of you guys!

yeah, cause who else would talk about ade jimoh?

its walking distance from my house, paying much better, more hours, and better oppurtunities there for me. im really excited about this job. im giving like 1 wk's notice tomorrow, going to food lion after im off on thursday to start training(getting paid for that too), and hopefully starting there next week.

Excellent...I will give you advance warning, I hate flying and even though my flight is at 6 AM I will most likely start drinking then. Also, the conference reception is Sunday night and if I recall correctly there is free food and booze. My goal is to get my boss hammered. On sunday we can see if guests are welcome.

2. i have been a redskin fan since since the mid 1950's when i first started attending games in griffith stadium. wives have come and gone. children have been raised. i have moved more times that i would have liked to.
the one constant in my life for about 50 years has been my unabiding love for the redskins. now in the katrina induced diaspora of washington state

seriously, my knowledge of the redskin lore was probably better 10-15 years ago as i forget some facts and need prompting on others.. as you can tell, i love a good story about the old redskin teams and feel honored to have gotten to see many of the older players play..if not live, at least on TV

[becky]

Stop lying, Gaston, your name isn't #6.

lol, whatever it really is akh, you should actually change it to Gaston.. and I won't bother pming you because the only #6 I can think of is Bobby Brown and briefly Mickey Mantle and I seriously doubt either are correct.

I have a friend who is like the 72nd generation of Southern gentleman named Gaston. He goes by Trey, but whenever I need a funny name for a dude Gaston is the first thing to pop into my mind. If I have a son I might name him that, either Gaston or Rimshot.

be carefull.. he is going to have to go by that name for decades and he will think of you every time someone calls him by name. naming yourself something odd is one thing, naming an infant that is another (i could never imagine why someone would name their kid, moon unit, or some of the other oddball stuff celebs have done).. i suspect substances are usually involved...

One shouldn't exclude the other.. I think Gaston Rimshot.. or Rimshot Gaston.. either have a nice ring to them.

you put it out there for discussion by including it in your sig, and this is the "ask a Hr member a question" thread, but will respect your right to abstain....but I am going to claim the honor of being able to get a non-response from akh :)

ha ha ha.

No, others have gotten the "dodgy answer" from me. But I'm not going to get into what that means.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

That bribe must have been via pm.. ;) That thread was hilarious, despite all the hate in it,akh knows whats up, lol. just a check i was going to write him for his bday at the draft party that would have to be addressed to his government name......

and yes that thread was hilarious. even funnier over time, lol.

[becky]

wow, you must be small then if your 14 year old brother is taller. When I was 14 [a freshman in high school] I was still growing and measured in at just barely 5 feet tall. I grew the most in sophomore/junior year. Today I'm 5'9".

and you skillfully dodged the original question of hitting on akh, lol. :Peace:

lol I'm 5'2".. my brother is pretty tall for his age, I think, like 5'4" or 5'5"? I have 7 younger siblings and they have all always been tall for their age.. I'm sure once they are all grown I'll be the shortest.

lol yeah I was totally hitting on him, as soon as I figure out his name, I'll ask for his number. Of course I'll probably never figure out his name so I'm out of luck! lol j/k ;)

[shally]

a victim of katrina? you have firsthand experience with it? you moved from louisiana to washington? wow, I thought I had a move[from South Carolina to Arizona and did it in 4 days], how long of a trip was THAT?

i do not consider myself a victim. seriously, i am one of the luckiest people alive. if it is okay with you,i will PM you because the story is long and i do not want to tax the patience of the mods..

ask a question of an HR member. not much more open than that.

this is for all of those who went to college in any way:

How many of you are doing something different in life than what you went to school for?

Me, I have my bachelors in Accounting and now do computer security. I graduated and worked Accounting for 4 years, went into IT and have been doing it for 9 years now.

[shally]

did you live in a home that was devastated by katrina?

office, hospital, surgery center, patients... all gone
our house was damaged by wind and water, but not by flooding so it survived. my wife spent this past week cleaning the house of mold from top to bottom, by hand, so that we can sell it and move on with our lives.
my oldest daughter still lives there. my second daughter moved to atlanta with her husband. we moved to abbeville, La for 2 months before deciding that new orleans was not a realistic place for us and we moved to washington state.
it took us about a week to drive with a u haul trailer containing our most precious possessions and our 2 younger children, plus 3 cats. it looked like something out of the dust bowl.
we have started over here and literally have gotten down on our knees to thank this place for an opportunity to re start our lives again.
we feel so blessed, that there are no adequate words of gratitude we can come up with.
that is the short version.. if you are interested further i can PM you the longer version

[LATrueRedskin]

its walking distance from my house, paying much better, more hours, and better oppurtunities there for me. im really excited about this job. im giving like 1 wk's notice tomorrow, going to food lion after im off on thursday to start training(getting paid for that too), and hopefully starting there next week.

LAtrue, are you still going to MC?

Nope, I'm going to the University of Maryland now. Terps baby!

Yeah being the oldest of 8 makes for an expensive Christmas season. Luckily I'm 22 and quite a bit older than the rest of them so I get along great with all of them.

PM the long version.

I am surprised however that your home was not condemned? You have to SELL your home? something isn't right,

but thankfully you came out of the disaster with everything that is important: your family, your education, and a chance to restart anew.

[shally]

PM the long version.

sending you a PM... only houses that suffered major structural damage were condemned. mold is not the same thing. besides, even houses that were condemned were not razed unless the owners gave permission to have it done.
and, yes, you understand fully why we feel we were blessed. because we did come out of it with the opportunity to re build our lives..

my first girlfriend [my wife was my second girlfriend] had a family of 13, and this was back in the late 80s when I was dating her. It's been so long that I forget which of the 13 she was, I think she was the second youngest. Thankfully some of her siblings had already left the home, but the home was still crowded when I was dating her [I think they still had 8 living in the house at the time]

and for the record, my wife gets lucky around Christmastime, her birthday is early Jan so she gets Christmas present to be followed by her b'day present.

Sweeeeeet. I had the title briefly I think, after way too much time playing it. I don't see anybody beating that number. Nice comment too. I haven't posted there in a while, but I left a little nugget for them in the "Barry vs. Emmitt" thread that should make them pretty mad. Good times.

i forgot how addictive that game was. i promised i would stop after i beat the cowboy fan score, and i did. im lol at your comment. that will definitely draw a few comments. eventually the thread will be spun around into a discussion of john riggins vs emmitt smith since they are so obsessed.

[FanFromArizona]

Reminds me when I went over there and told them there was NO WAY Irvin was right proclaiming them to have a 13-3 record this year, win the NFC East and the SB....

talk about incitable :devil2: , it was fun at the time.

[LATrueRedskin]

Yeah. And then I was called a homer. :)

[becky]

I agree, although I bet it would be fun to be the youngest. I'm 22 and my youngest sibling is only 18 months old, so she gets SPOILED.

you should have said you were from Louisiana(LA) and asked for sympathy.

So, speaking of big families Lady, how many kids are you and LATrue planning on having?

[shally]

sounds like something out of the movies shally.....:(

this is the greatest internal migration in the USA since the dust bowl era. people will be writing about this for generations.. it has become "old news" to most people. but the devastation is biblical in scope. so many people, so much loss..
you would have to see it to believe it. there is real lovely work being done by churches and charitable organizations. don't forget the salvation army, habitat for humanity, and the humane society as ther is much need still there...they still need your help and donations..

[RedskinRyan]

So, speaking of big families Lady, how many kids are you and LATrue planning on having?

ive been wondering what happened to hR's couple

[Santheb]

Is tequila really spanish for "I don't remember that at all dude"?

[whistleandthumb]

Absolutely man, maybe we can have enough drinks to convince me to order a Randle El and Lloyd jersey too. At this rate I'll have the entire collection by the first preseason game.
Whit... your girl tells my girl that you bought, like, $200 worth of Skins stuff in the midst of a drunken stupor... true? And, if so, what did ya get? :)

Check out my last post in the Cancun thread. I went on a late night binge and ended up with a Marcus Washington jersey, a Santana Moss jersey, and two Skins T-shirts.

An expensive night but the alcohol combined with the DVD of the Giants game that you made me got me all emotional. :)

[Keino]

Akh's real name is Phoebus. Now stop bothering him about it......

Rufus T Firefly.

And I have to admit, Shally got the #6 reference. Bravo to him.

[Keino]

He had his chance at the 2004 draft party. He chickened out.

Uhmmm...This could be somewhat alcohol induced, but I don't really remember it that way at all......

[akhhorus]

[dj_stouty]

this is for all of those who went to college in any way:

How many of you are doing something different in life than what you went to school for?

I got my degree in Political Science, which is ironic since I rarely visit the Potomac forum. ;) To me, studying poli sci was like studying the French language for 8 years. I don't remember any of it, and I have no desire to learn anything else about it!

What do I do now? Sales. LOL

To be honest; I learned more about the business world from my fraternity than I did my professors.

[dj_stouty]

Ok...I'll get this thread back on track with several questions...

Question for Whitskins and Whiste&Thumb:

Have you guys ever talked about collaborating on a movie some day in the future?

Question for Lady:

How long does it take you to photoshop those great signatures? They are always great, BTW.

Question for Anyone who works from home:

Do you keep a routine schedule during the day? How do you keep from getting distracted by TV/RAdio/Playstation...etc. Any advice for a guy who will begin working from home at the end of the month?

[redskin_rich]

I can answer this one. My biggest distraction is my kids during the summer. That and hR of course ;). I have a routine but it has to be flexible as I am interrupted frequently. I get a majority of my work done early in the morning and late at night. I don't have much time for TV or videogames.

Do you keep a routine schedule during the day? How do you keep from getting distracted by TV/RAdio/Playstation...etc. Any advice for a guy who will begin working from home at the end of the month?

Well, I have sort of the opposite problem. I moved two weeks ago to an apartment 5 minutes walking distance to my office...the problem: I barely leave the office anymore. I go home and I'm distracted by things I have to do at work so I just come back in.

[whistleandthumb]

Ya know, DJ, I don't think the topic has ever really come up.

Whit doesn't like David Lynch. I need to get him over that before we could ever work on something together! :)

i have hope for lonie..
This might be the saddest thing I have ever seen written here. (And I agree with it...)

Besides the horrifying mental picture that I'm trying to fight off, you did earn some gentleman points by ignoring my parking lot joke.

[PGiddy18]

hey PGiddy...what were you and your roommates watching in the background when i called you last year? :D

When you called, Telemundo, ya *SPENSORED*.

Dustin, I always wanted to know: have you ever taken some sort of formal writing course? You may have shared before, but I don't ever remember an answer.

[fent]

When you called, Telemundo, ya *SPENSORED*.

it sure didn't sound like Telemundo ;)

Sorry, its in my nature. There is the Private message feature at HR, you know...

I know, too bad the PM feature has a way of spilling over into the main board, but hey, it's my bad for not waiting till the big day. And I sat here for a solid minute debating whether or not to post the comment about everyone leaving, but then I stopped caring about myself for a second, thought of the collective good and the comedic value given to HR.

That's right, and we're going to start dishing out indictments. Barry Bonds is first, followed by RedskinsRyan and PGiddy. We're working on you, but you're a slippery one. :)


don't forget those special teams...

Man, this is going to be more work than I thought. :)


LOL Lady is going to kill me when she reads this thread.

[danny's stogie]

PGiddy, did I mention that I have played ice hockey on a competitive level ever since I was a little boy, and that I still have all of my teeth, and no, I don't sport a mullet?

[skinfan43]

LOL!! I can't say no to free alcohol can I? At least I haven't yet..
I'll vouch for that!!!;) (We owe Chickie's and Pete's another pint-thrashing, LOL!)

SMOAK! i see you are in the thread! Have you decided anything on your car yet? Are you re-leasing the jeep?

LOL! The lease is up 7/29 and I am planning to turn it in and not have a vehicle payment. I am a hypocrite if I grumble about gas but don't cut my usage... That said, I know Chysler has really dropped prices so I am tempted to at least talk. My wife is pestering me to also look at the Honda Pilot, which I love, but find to be expensive (with the options I want). I am at an age where I just don't want to pay as much for a vehicle and I never have been one to care for expensive cars. I'm a Jeep guy and I'll have another Wrangler if they can lower the payment a lot to compensate for the increased cost of gas.

And many a pretty boy have fallen to the back to the big guy's charm and grace!!!

Don't make me whip out the Shakesperian Sonnets

I wanted to post a question but if you guys are gonna start whipping stuff out, I'll just stay in the other room :D

(PS: I stil think it's Augustus, only Civil War General name that fits)

[rskinsfan10]

Well, I've always wondered if padriac was your real name. If it isn't, what is it's significance?padriac, I never saw an answer for this....

[smoak]

some deals include cash back to compensate for the increase in gas prices.. don't know if chrysler does that..
my wife has had a grand cherokee and now a liberty, which she truly loves.
red hair and a burgundy car-- life is unfair to some, huh ?!!

LOL! I am married to a redhead and drive a burgundy Wrangler... Life is all good IMO.

[smoak]

I'll vouch for that!!!;) (We owe Chickie's and Pete's another pint-thrashing, LOL!)
Have you talked w/Smoak about us gathering somewhere for the preseason opener?
And Bryan...you are now TRULY "The Man!"

Thanks, but I know it is really your world and the rest of us are just renting space. We definitely have to catch up for the 8/13 game against the Bungles. I'll come to Philly, but please, please make sure bars will show the game and not those embarrassing Filthies. Otherwise we could do halfway and I'll find a place that will give us the remote and leave us alone.

I refuse to answer for fear of once again putting my foot in my mouth. I think you should get Ganeshed also.

[tbfoster1]

Padraic is his real name. Its Irish for Patrick or Numbnuts, I can't remember which but I'm pretty sure its Numbnuts

Well I do have something in common with Ganesh. We both have large trunks.......

[danny's stogie]

Zing! good one Dustin. Question for Dustin: do they have Country Sweet in the Cuse? I had a craving for some at like 5 am on saturday night.

[akhhorus]

I actually don't see Dustin on the guest list, so I think you're alright....

[Seebs]

Spicy, could you please for god's sake remove that awful picture from your sig?
pllleeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! !!!

Not that I know of. I don't even know what that is.

What, no Shakespearian themed wedding?

[CNYSkinFan]

another party I am left out on..................

[CNYSkinFan]

Shakesperian weddings are a crop shoot. Sometimes like Beatrice and Benedick they turn out welll, but more often then Not like Romeo and Juliet it ends in double suicide.

[akhhorus]

What, no Shakespearian themed wedding?

No, that would be rather gay(and I'm a fan of The Bard). Although, a friend of mine did go to a renaissance fair-themed wedding.

[danny's stogie]

Not that I know of. I don't even know what that is.

It's a chicken joint they have in Rochester and I think Buffalo. I used to go there on the late night after partying, it was usually packed with the type of late night crowd you don't want to be around and a few college kids, always a trip to see a dude dressed in a purple velour suit with a feathered cap. How about Mighty Taco -- the legend surely has made it's way the Cuse?

[CNYSkinFan]

When you called, Telemundo, ya *SPENSORED*.

Dustin, I always wanted to know: have you ever taken some sort of formal writing course? You may have shared before, but I don't ever remember an answer.
no not really. I skipped out on college after having my child during my senior year to try and take responsibility for her. For awhile I went to CC but then I got sole custody of my daughter and my professional life was taking off without a degree. I plan on going back to school soon though because it is something I wish I had done and I have enough life credits to get a degree pretty quickly.

[danny's stogie]

What's worse, that or a Star Trek wedding?

Just wanted to say that's pretty noble of you. I salute you, maybe even doff my cap.

[akhhorus]

There's no word in Klingon for "bad catering". We decided that the renaissance fair wedding(where the guests have to be in character) was a bigger attack on marriage than the Gay Pagan civil union service the week before.

Wow, that is the thinnest Ganesh I have ever seen. That Ganesh nees more lentils...

No Mighty Taco either....Syracuse food claim to fame is Dinosaur BBQ which did spread to Ra cha cha

[danny's stogie]

...and thank the lord it did. I talked to a friend on the phone the other day and when she said she was in DBQ my stomach gave me a stern talking to for moving here.

This cracks me up, I'll let it stand, I can't think of a response.

[akhhorus]

I tried to get some wedding phrases translated on the web into Klingon, but SHOCKER, there's no word in Klingon for wedding(probably not one for girlfriend or sex either).

[AGibbsGirl]

It's a chicken joint they have in Rochester and I think Buffalo. ... How about Mighty Taco -- the legend surely has made it's way the Cuse?

Ah, Mighty Taco, every time we used to go back to Mike's home near Buffalo he would sneak out late at night...old girlfriend?...please, have you seen my long legs?..no it was to Mighty Taco...

There's a kling-on web translator? hook it up.

[Keino]

Padraic is his real name. Its Irish for Patrick or Numbnuts, I can't remember which but I'm pretty sure its Numbnuts


I laughed pretty hard at this post.

Question for Pgiddy (Stogie take note):

Will you buy me a drink?

I know a few couples that were held together by a mutual love for Mighty Taco. I kid you not.

PGiddy, can I buy you two drinks so that you can give one to him?

[padraic]

Yes it is numbnits, but trevor only knows that cause i told him........But what real cool is Trevor translated into Irish is MEL KIPER

[padraic]

Man this thread is moving fast, who asked what my name was?

[padraic]

Hay p-giddy TB wanted me to ask you if you would go out with him, he has not had a date since the last time Gibbs was our coach, and im not talking about last year.

[akhhorus]

See, Padraic, the difference is that we were having fun with each other and this is mean.

[shally]

Man this thread is moving fast, who asked what my name was?


i have visited ireland and northern ireland... where do you come down on "the troubles?" (my wife is irish)

[tbfoster1]

This could have been true if it wasn't for the date I had with your mom the other night.

So tell me son, what type of flowers does she like.

[padraic]

Now, now pal...don't hate the playa...hate the game.;)

[padraic]

My Family is mostly from Cork but i got peps from all over......just look at my avater, i put that up in honor of the marching season. If you do not know much about free derry googel it, its a history leason any one with irish roots should know about.

[skinfan43]

Dr. J, much like Ganesh, will be subdued.
Don't worry, I will allow you all a fair chance at the fine maidens, as I will more than likely be drowning in Maker's Mark and Corona's, and will probably be as smooth as "Broadway Joe" on MNF...

[padraic]

See, Padraic, the difference is that we were having fun with each other and this is mean.


shhhhh that aint mean man, i can do alot worse then that TB's my dog we cool like that, and if she will not go out with TB im a freeman.......

So let me get this straight..this is the thread where I can just write whatever I want (including asking girls out)? Or is there some kind of logic to what you crazy people are writing?
